GetThere, Travelocity Begin Merging

Ellen Keszler, president of Travelocity Business, today said that this quarter GetThere and Travelocity will begin to merge their corporate technology giving it "the Travelocity look and feel."

Keszler said the product enhancements will include a new agency distributor program that will provide travel management companies serving midmarket clients with wholesale pricing.

Kessler noted that in 2004 GetThere handled 12 million transactions-a number identical to the transactions handled by Travelocity during that time.
